Washington Examiner, Dec 15, 2023. Democratic Boston Mayor Michelle Wu shared a photo on social media of the controversial "electeds of color" holiday party for government officials of ethnic minority backgrounds.
"Last night was my turn to host the annual holiday dinner for Boston's elected officials — a special moment to appreciate that our affinity group now includes leadership across city, state, county, and federal offices," Wu wrote on Instagram along with a photo of the dinner.
The holiday party drew media attention when Wu's director of city council relations accidentally sent the email invitation to all 13 members (of which the white council members were supposed to be excluded) of the City Council instead of only the six councilors of color. Wu is the city's first mayor to be both female and a person of color.
"Not too long ago in Boston, we didn't need such a big table to fit electeds of color," wrote Wu on Instagram.
